Chapter 6 - Chapter 6: It Was Me First

Haruki found Koki Takahiro and asked him to hand over the two books compiled last night to Hiruzen Sarutobi.

If there are any revisions, make notes for corrections, and Haruki will be in charge of printing.

There are 27 students in each class, 10 classes in each grade, and nearly 1620 students in the whole school.

Copying by hand would be a huge waste of time.

Class A, Grade Six.

When Haruki entered the classroom, the noisy classroom fell silent.

"Dear classmates,"

With a kind smile on his face, he said, "I'm your new teacher, Haruki."

Hearing this name, the atmosphere suddenly changed.

Almost everyone's eyes showed surprise and delight.

The legendary ninja had actually become their teacher?

It's simply unbelievable!

Haruki raised his hand, and the noise in the classroom immediately disappeared.

For the children, the famous Haruki had a high prestige.

"Your teacher should have told you that the school is going to add two theoretical courses, namely [Konoha Hokage Character Encyclopedia] and [The Great Inheritance of the Will of Fire]. But the teaching materials haven't arrived today, so I'll talk about something else."

Haruki turned around and wrote a line on the blackboard.

How to Become a Hokage?

The students under the podium were immediately attracted.

"Before starting the class, I have a question for you. Is there anyone among you whose wish is to become a Hokage? Or someone who takes the Hokage-sama as an example?"

As expected, more than two-thirds of the students raised their hands.

Hiruzen Sarutobi promoted the so - called Will of Fire, which could make so many people yearn for the position of Hokage and work hard for Konoha. It was no less than the strongest [Genjutsu].

Haruki carefully scanned the classroom.

He noticed that Kushina Uzumaki looked very conflicted. After hesitating for a few seconds, she finally raised her little hand.

In the original story, during the self - introduction on the first day of school, she said that she wanted to become the first female Hokage, but was laughed at by her classmates.

In a fit of anger, she gave those guys a good beating, thus earning the title of [The Red - Hot Habanero]. She also hated her red long hair because of this.

In a sense, her situation was somewhat similar to that of her son, Naruto Uzumaki.

"Is there anyone who can tell me how to become a Hokage?"

After Haruki finished speaking, many students raised their little hands high.

"The first boy in the third row."

"Teacher, I think one has to become the strongest ninja to be qualified to be a Hokage."

"A ninja recognized by the village."

"A ninja who can sacrifice himself to protect the village."

"I think one should have wisdom and means beyond ordinary people."

"..."

After listening to the speeches of several students, Haruki smiled slightly and summarized:

"What you mentioned most is personal strength and recognition, but is this absolute?"

He scanned the thoughtful little faces of the students. After waiting for a moment, he continued:

"Before becoming a Hokage, there is a procedure: the Jonin vote. Since it's a vote, it means there is more than one person with both strength and prestige. Have you ever thought about why some of them lose the election?"

The classroom fell silent.

Haruki smiled. Why did they lose the election?

Because they were not from the Hokage lineage.

In the original story, the position of Hokage in Konoha was completely monopolized.

Even Tanzo Shimura, who had always aspired to become the Hokage, was a disciple of the Second Hokage.

Of course, these students in front of him didn't understand that.

Haruki wrote two Chinese characters on the blackboard: 'Innovation'.

"You must be confused," he said.

Actually, he was subtly changing the concept, but it didn't matter as long as he could justify his point.

"Looking at the three Hokages, all their deeds were unprecedented. That's what innovation means. If you want to become the Hokage, you must have the spirit of innovation. If you're only indulged in your current achievements, you'll never be able to surpass yourselves, let alone become the Hokage."

Haruki paused, waiting for them to digest what he had said.

Genin, in a certain sense, are like tools for others.

They lived their lives step by step, like screws.

"To innovate, you have to abandon the old and the bad. All things are constantly moving and changing. The path of the predecessors is not your own after all. As your teacher, I hope you can all find and follow your own Ninja Way!"

To be honest, they might not understand these lofty principles.

But in the long run, it would have an effect. Besides, children in the Naruto world matured early.

For example, Itachi Uchiha pondered the meaning of life at the age of five and went to the battlefield at six.

In addition, he was giving this lesson for Hiruzen Sarutobi to see.

The Third Hokage possessed a crystal ball capable of monitoring the entire village, namely the [Telescope Technique].

At noon, Haruki called in Kushina Uzumaki and Minato Namikaze.

"Did you understand what the teacher said in class?"

"Some parts were a bit hard to get," Kushina said, scratching her head shyly.

"I have a question," Minato asked thoughtfully. "What do you mean by 'all things are constantly moving and changing'?"

Haruki nodded with satisfaction. As expected of someone who could become the Hokage.

This sentence seems quite simple, but it would be quite troublesome to explain it in detail.

"Well, it's not something that can be explained in a short time. You'll understand later."

Haruki patted their little heads and invited, "Come to my place for lunch today."

"Eh?" The two looked up in surprise.

"Don't you want to?"

"Yes, yes! We'd love to!"

Haruki led them back to his home, and Tsunade was also there.

The reputation of the Sannin carried more weight than his.

Apart from Kushina, even Minato, who was usually calm, was very excited.

To her surprise, she saw Kushina Uzumaki right in front of her.

Haruki started preparing lunch in the kitchen.

Although the Naruto world was centered around Chakra, it also had a certain level of technological development.

There were things like computers and electric woks.

So the kitchen was not unfamiliar to him. Instead, it made him feel a sense of nostalgia.

He was from the Sichuan - Chongqing region in his past life, and his father was a chef, so his cooking skills were quite good.

"Wow!"

Kushina looked at the dishes she'd never seen before, her face full of surprise.

They were beautiful and exuded a mouth - watering aroma.

"Let me introduce these dishes to you: Twice - Cooked Pork, Mapo Tofu, Kung Pao Chicken, Shredded Pork with Garlic Sauce, and Husband - and - Wife Sliced Beef (a famous Sichuan dish)."

Haruki handed her the chopsticks and said, "These are the dishes from my hometown. Have a taste."

After the Uzumaki clan was exterminated, Kushina Uzumaki had been living on Konoha's relief funds. She hadn't had such a sumptuous lunch in a long time.

She looked at Haruki and Tsunade, feeling a bit dazed.

It seemed as if she had returned to her childhood.

After she came to Konoha, most of her classmates mocked her. No one had ever been this kind to her.

As for Minato Namikaze, she naturally forgot him.

"What's wrong?" Haruki asked when he saw her stop using her chopsticks.

"Nothing." Kushina Uzumaki took a deep breath and said, "If I were ten years older, I'd definitely marry Teacher Haruki!"

Minato Namikaze was so startled that he jolted.

The Twice - Cooked Pork in his mouth lost its flavor.

What about me? What about me?

After all, I was the first one here.

Haruki quickly looked at Tsunade. Seeing that she didn't react, he let out a sigh of relief.

She's really a precocious little girl.

Besides, he wasn't interested in underage girls.

"I think Minato is not bad."

Haruki pointed at Minato Namikaze and received a grateful look from him.

"Him? He's not even one ten - thousandth as good as Teacher Haruki!" Kushina Uzumaki said disdainfully.

Minato Namikaze felt as if a thunderbolt had struck him on the head.

He angrily stuffed a mouthful of rice into his mouth.
